#ScarboroughME #CommunityGarden

"The Scarborough Community Garden is addressing #hunger in our community by growing nourishing vegetables for neighbors who struggle to put healthy food on the table. Located in #ScarboroughMaine, we broke ground in the Fall of 2014 on our first garden located at St. Nicholas Episcopal Church. We began planting and harvesting in 2015. Two more gardens, one at Blue Point Congregational Church and one at Hillcrest Retirement Community, were soon established in 2017. All three gardens continue to grow an abundance of delicious produce for the #ScarboroughFoodPantry and our neighbors."

Scarborough Community GardenScarborough Community GardenWhile we continue to adapt for health and safety during the pandemic, all three gardens are growing and are an example of our resilience. Whether at St. Nicholas Episcopal Church or at Blue Point...

I needed to take a break from the doom and gloom, so I eyed spots in the yard for more wildflowers, a mini food forest, and a spot for three sisters (and sunflowers). I had good luck growing some beans in hanging pots, so I'll be doing that again, as well as growing greens, onions, sun gold tomatoes and red potatoes in containers. Attempting beets again, but the local critters like them a little too much.

Went to the community garden with the kids to do some annual maintenance and help install some accessible raised gardens.

These are high enough that you can plant without stooping so low to the ground. It also allows wheelchair users to roll up to them and plant without having to get out of their chair.

We’re hoping these violas will fill out to spill over the edges of the planters like they did the first time we did this a few years ago (last pic!)

We tried other plants in since then but none were as impressive and didn’t stand up to the weird English weather the way these do.
